At 7:05 a.m. Monday, police responded to a home on Timber Ridge Street in Upper Makefield Township for a gunman complaint. When they arrived, a 22-year-old met them. The man told police that his neighbor, 38-year-old Trinh Nguyen, spoke to him earlier that day. She gave him a box of photos and asked him to give the box to her ex-husband, with whom she was working, the researchers said. When the man turned to face Nguyen, she allegedly turned a black revolver on his face and pulled the trigger twice. However, the gun did not fire, police said. The man then wrapped Nguyen in a bear and disarmed it, according to investigators. Nguyen then fled the area in a white Toyota Sienna minivan. Officials issued a BOLO / wanted card for her. After being told that Nguyen had two children, aged 13 and 9, police and a neighbor searched her home to find them. They later found both boys suffering from gunshot wounds to the head. Both children were taken to Saint Mary Medical Center and at least one of them underwent surgery. Sources told NBC10 no boy is expected to survive. Bucks County Attorney Matthew Weintraub told a news conference that their organs would be donated. Several law enforcement agencies were involved in a manhunt for Nguyen that was considered armed and dangerous. Around 11:30 a.m., police found Nguyen at United Methodist Church in Washington Crossing. Police are now escorting Trinh Nguyen to the hospital after arresting her in an Upper Makefield church car park. Sources say that her two children were shot this morning. Nguyen is wanted for attempted murder.

Police were wearing armor as they approached her vehicle. Investigators believe he was driving under the influence of drugs and was taken to Saint Mary Medical Center. Nguyen is charged with three counts of attempted murder and possession of a crime instrument. These charges will be upgraded to murder if Nguyen’s two sons die from their injuries, according to Weintraub. This story is being developed and will be updated.
